Cristina greets him at the airport. They have lunch
and are in meetings together all day. She begins to be
attracted to him. The next day Cristina shows Philippe
some of the sights, and then goes to the gym to talk to
Daniel, who has been checking who was at the gym at
the time of Cristina’s ‘accident’.
As Cristina and Philippe leave the gym, a car drives
straight towards them, hitting Philippe. He is taken
to hospital but fortunately is not seriously injured.
Cristina now suspects that someone is trying to kill
her and phones Daniel from the hospital to discuss the
matter. Daniel offers his help and consults a policeman
friend who advises him to drive Cristina home from
the hospital. Carlos and Roberto observe Daniel
meeting Cristina outside the hospital.
Cristina and Daniel leave the hospital, followed by
Carlos and Roberto. This is what the police were
hoping for. While they are waiting at traffic lights,
Cristina sees the man with the red poppy tattoo, who
is Roberto, and recalls everything that happened at
the scene of her motorbike accident. She realises these
are the men who are trying to kill her. A dramatic
car chase follows, ending outside Cristina’s flat. The
Bocuzzi brothers are arrested.
The story concludes six months later, on the evening
of the Impressionist exhibition at the museum.
Cristina’s feelings for Philippe haven’t changed and she
is delighted when he invites her back to France.
